pick the shoes first

Lace dress: Forever 21. Spagetti mesh strap dress: Topshop. Shoes: Aldo. Necklace & leather clutch: Vintage. Diamond stud bracelet: Random jewellery shop.
Last night, the boyfriend and me attended an evening wedding at the Botanical Gardens.
I already knew I wanted to wear the leopard heels so I built the outfit around them. I layered two black dresses together, wearing a Topshop body con mesh dress with the Forever 21 lace dress underneath. The lace dress is my fave layering piece. You already remember me recently wearing it here with a beaded tunic.
The tuxedo wool coat is by Jil Sander for Uniqlo (speaking of collaborations per below post). I remember how the store was a packed frenzy and the only thing that I wanted was this coat. It has a curved hemline and a satin trim collar. The highlight for me was meeting Jil Sander herself for a few moments and congratulating her on the success.
ps. I can’t believe I teared up at the wedding. Thank God I cried upwards.

    Wow you look fantastic! I really love long sleeves mini dress too. The coat is stunning, and I’m not surprise, Jil Sander always got the perfect cut!
    And btw, I almost always cry at wedding too, half because of emotion and helf because for some reason, i feel guilty to be single.
    Hope you had a great time guys!

    Loving the outfit and the heels are to die!! You have amazing legs, btw.

    Also how do you cry upwards??

    -T

  26. Karen says:

    The cry up means chin up, head back so you cry upwards instead of down. Basically blinking at the ceiling. Ok I’m not explaining this right.

    Thx guys for the comments!!! It’s nice to get to dress up a bit every once in a while.

    Cat – yea I know right. I still can’t.

    Sarah K – I found out last minute about the collaboration myself.

    Lions, Tigers – I have to watch the wedding tonight. I can’t believe how fast she married him.
